5 Nights on Maui...too long?
 

We are planning on spending 5 nights on Maui. 2 Nights near Hana or somewhere in the country (more for cost effectiveness than anything else) and 3 nights at a nice resort. My husband seems to think this is too long and we will run out of things to do. Any opinions?<BR><BR>Also, recommendations for nice (but not overly pricey) places to stay on Kaanapali Bay? And what's better Kaanapali area or Wailea?

8 nights at the Sheraton Maui was NOT enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 nights near Hana is too much - but 5 nights total is not enough. I think the sights near Hana were nice - however absolutely nothing to do over there. I would go middle of the road and spend at least 8 nights on Maui in an area with more going on. Personally, I enjoyed Wailea more because of the more upscale accomodations - just depends on what you are looking for.

If you can't find enough to keep you busy for 5 days on Maui then you need to try to cut back on the amphetamine usage.

Rachel,<BR><BR>Definitely only spend 1 day/night in the Hana area. Hike the upper trail at the "7 Pools" area - absolutely beautiful. <BR><BR>We stayed in the Kaanapali area and loved it. While we only visited to the Wailea area for a day, we found that Kaanapali had more "going on". We are young (mid twenties) and felt like there was more stuff to do for people our age around Kaanapali/Lahaina. <BR><BR>

There are some very reasonable condos in the Kahana area above Ka'anaplai. I think you'll find that 5 days isn't enough.<BR><BR>Good Luck,<BR><BR>Bobbi

We spent 5 nights and I could have spent 10 more! In Kanapali we stayed at the Kanapali Beach Hotel. It was nice when we stayed there.<BR><BR>We drove to Hana and I wish we would have spent the night. It was a long ride and the only problem with driving there was we had to drive back again! In one day I thought it was too much for my attention span.
